IMG has posted a review of Nexiuz. Here's a clip from the review:

Nexuiz is a first person sci-fi (non-realistic) type shooter that, as the Nexuiz readme puts it, focuses on bringing deathmatch back to the basics. It's based on an advanced version of the Quake 1 engine called Darkplaces, and while it doesn't have the detail of the latest games, it certainly looks and feels more advanced (and of course requires a more powerful computer) than a shooter from ten years ago. It's probably more at the level of Quake 2 with some of the more advanced lighting and effects features of today's games. But what separates this game from most currently developed shooter games out there is that it costs…nothing! The team does ask for donations to continue development, but because it's developed under the GPL, the game is freely playable, modifiable, and distributable (among other free projects). How can you beat that?
